For us it is time to pack up Christmas. This time I gathered all the decorations on the living room table before packing them up. It was easier to fit them in the boxes and bags when everything could be seen at the same time. But I kind of didn't realize how many decorations we have..

There is a lot of red in Vårkulla. This was not an altogether conscious choice, for some reason I just chose red carpets, red beddings etc. Well anyway, in Christmas there is even more red when I buy the Christmas flowers and put out the decorations.

What I want, I usually get. We bought Alessi's circus tin set for ourselves for Christmas. At the moment it is in the kitchen but I have to move it somewhere else after winter. The light in the kitchen is really strong in spring and any colours would fade in there.

Nowadays I love cut flowers. My husband is a bit amazed that now we have tens of vases when we used to have none. As we had a four day stay in the country I splashed out and bought cut flowers for two large arrangements. One below is in the sitting room, the other (same flowers) is in the kitchen.

What do I do with an old traffic sign? I don't know, but it looks rather good. I am not much into blue anymore (the eightie's ruined blue for me), but the sign was rather cheap and how often do you see these in flea markets? Never, is the answer! So of course we had to buy the only one and now it decorates our living room at home.

We found this old hard rye bread advertisement in tori.fi. Mint condition is an understatement, the advert is in perfect condition. I just happen to love Ylhäisten näkkileipä hard bread so it was great to find an old advert. The bread is real hard and the best version has a lot of caraway in it.
